Excellent park to camp. Love the biking trail from the park along the Columbia River. Clean washroom. Friendly staffs. Nice grassy area for camping. We always have nice experience during our stay. Will go back there every year. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is one of the best parks you will ever stay in if you can live without WiFi or cable TV for a few nights. These are widely spaced sites on asphalt with concrete patios and vast green lawn in between. It is connected to a very large park system with walking and bike paths that loop through the area. This a must see park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Made arrangements on-line but didn't read any definition of "standard" as meaning "no sewer". When I checked site #39 against an old site map I had kept from a previous visit, I contacted the Parks Information System to try for a different site. I had such a negative experience (complete with "change" fees and threatened cancellation fees If I didn't keep the assigned site). For the poor customer service attitude I'm almost upset enough to rate it a 1. However, once I got a call-back from a very polite Park Ranger things started to improve. He was actually on site (not at a call center) & he was able to assure us he'd had a cancellation of a full hook-up site that could accommodate us for the same time-frame & encouraged us to come in, get settled, and come see him at a specific time. I did, he & another Ranger made all the necessary changes on the computer system, I paid the difference for the better site, and went away a much happier camper. This was our second visit to this Park because of family residing in the area but I will consider other alternatives next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed in the park once last year and once this year and plan on NOT returning. "Confluence" must translate into "bring your DEET mosquito repellent" in another country. I have never been so frustrated with the little worthless bugs. No amount of repellent or candles would keep them off. Bad in the morning, a couple hour break in the heat of the day, and by early evening they were swarming again. Better off driving up river 15 more minutes to Lincoln Rock State Park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
If you are towing a smaller trailer or fifth wheeler, or have a pop up , this park is fine. It is a really a delightful place for children and has nice, modern clean bathrooms. That's the good news. The bad news: First, the map on the website is lousy and provides you with a lot of information, most of which is useless. It is not, in any way, a fair representation of the park. Secondly, the park's greatest asset is that it is located where the Wenatchee and Columbia rivers come together, a beautiful site. But the park has installed a chain link fence between sites and the rivers, and has allowed the underbrush to grow up so high you cannot see the river. Sad. Sad. Sad. Thirdly, the "pull throughs" are not pull-throughs at all, but are semi-circular pull offs. The circle is tight and, if you have anything over a 36 footer, you are going to have a time getting into the pull-through sites. Fourthly, this is a state park, and the hands of the bureaucracy are evident. We found that our electric box was installed so close to a cement protective barrier, we had to get a hammer and bend it to get our plug in. While we were there six days, we never found a ranger in the office although we tried several times. When you check in, you get no literature whatsoever and, if you have a question, you are out of luck. Fifthly, although we noted that the ranger office had satellite Direct TV, they did not offer tv cable to campers, nor did they have wi-fi, or even a modem hookup. If we were a young family with children in a pop up, we would give this place a 10. With a big rig, we give it a 1. We'll split the difference and give it an overall 5. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a beautiful park. We stayed during the week. You evidently aren't able to get in on a weekend without reservations for months. But this park has great walking/bike riding paths. It is located on the Columbia river. Each site was nicely placed you had quite a bit of room between sites. It was a great experience and we loved it there! We would recommend that place for a Family gathering anytime! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great family park. Excellent boat launch, easy in, easy out. Nice grassy camp sites, paved parking for your recreational vehicle. Close to shopping. Bike and/or paved walking trail. It's 11 miles around the entire trail. We are planning another week this summer. Make reservations 9 months in advance. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great state park. Large sites, lots of grass, large area for a tent at the campsite. One of our favorite state parks. Sites closer to the Columbia river can get windy, so watch your canopy. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
As the name implies, this is situated where the Wenatchee River dumps into the Columbia River. It's in an odd location, otherwise. It is surrounded by commercial/light industrial buildings. It's a clean neighborhood, however, and a large park (200 acres), so you might forget about it were it not for the Home Depot glowing on the distant hillside. Still, it's a very pretty, clean park, easily accessible from the highway, and with easy access to the city of Wenatchee, the Columbia River, and the city of Leavenworth (15-20 mins away). The restrooms were clean and well-maintained, unlike some other WA State Parks. As with many Eastern Washington State Parks, it is sunny and grassy, not unlike a city park. The shade is minimal; this campground will be very hot in the summer months. I wouldn't be averse to staying here again, but wouldn't probably do so as a destination. I liked the park well enough, but I would choose Lincoln Rock State Park, 15 minutes to the north. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is our favorite park in the area and we go there at least once every year or two and have been for the last 7 years. The trees were small back then but have grown. The concrete and pavement is in great condition, there are biking and walking paths and the park is right on the Columbia River. There are tennis and basketball courts within walking distance in the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Large grassy sites, some with nice shade trees. Swimming area at river. Access to 10.5 mile walking/biking river trail. Popular for boats and jet skis, but we never even heard any. Very convenient to Wenatchee. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
